If by below, you mean above, then yes, your AC couldn't get worse than 10.

I'd have to disagree here; the primary function of intelligence is the ability to learn. You could play someone with an extremely low empathy; he just doesn't understand in any way how people feel, which ends up being reflected in his morality.

I know I've said this in several other posts, but d20 modern basic classes are perfect as starting levels for low-magic environments. They're more customizable than NPC classes, but much more limited than PC classes. Really, the only thing that needs to be changed to fit them into D&D is the...

They absolutely don't replace a cleric; going into each battle at half health isn't fun at all, and a lack of healing in combat is also bad. The easiest role to fill is that of the tank; concentrate on defense and a high Constitution, and let your breath weapon make up for a lack of other...

You can always swap out some of the more useless feats Giants get for Iron Will, and perhaps even the PHB2 feat which gives Con to Will saves instead of Wis. Things like Great Cleave, and Improved Sunder/Bull Rush/Overrun should be swapped for more useful feats if the giants never use them.

Yup. What level does this put him at? (I guess he could have always used a scroll...)

If adding abilities to the "specific" weapons was easy to cost, they would have just made the specific weapon abilities either a +N modifier cost or a +Xgp cost. The fact that they didn't do either of those things indicates that their pricing isn't according to such a scheme.

I found that Monk/Warlock is an interesting way to get into Ur-Priest.

Yeah, I think that some of these are simply house rules people happened to posted in this thread. ^_^ But once several have been collected, it would be interesting to have a poll on these. However, although the exact form of 8 is not necessarily common, some sort of opposed check to tumble...

The thing is, multiclassing often hurts your BAB but helps your saves. That extra +2 bonus at the start of each class can add up over time, while taking several differant medium/low BAB classes really hurts your attack. A variation on using the fractional rules is to simply count how many...

Keep in mind that Detect Magic isn't vision based. You're not "seeing" the auras, you're detecting them.

Glancing over it, is seems mostly ok. The only thing that seems over the top is the unrestricted HiPS ability; it might be better to either remove that, or have it use up one turn undead attempt. You might want to add to the prereqs to prevent double dipping sneak attack from 2 classes.

It would be interesting to know the houserule in question, and the circumstance which caused the argument. Was there something about that particular situation which seemed more unreasonable to the player?

Yup, the half life of this is 24.6 shots. If you have a whole bunch of archers doing this, every 24.6 shots half of them become low on arrows. It seems a reasonable model in some ways, but I think PC's would hate it, because they won't like the feel of not having control. Now, as a magic item...

Here's a bizarre idea using another, also complicated rule in the place of the dispelling rule. But I think it addresses your specific problems. Treat it like a turning check, using the dispeller's CL in place of cleric level, and the appropriate casting stat instead of Cha. Count each spell...

Ah, the exact wording indicates that putting a spell like Righteous Might in a glyph is pointless. The glyph attempts to target whatever creature triggered it, but that creature is out of range... (Range:Personal, remember?) so the spell fails. I guess if you cast animate object on the item...

I think I prefer the d20 modern approach of advanced classes: you can't take caster classes until you're about level 4.

The easiest method here is just to calculate the average result from a single die. For X dice, just multiply the result by X. There's a Y/10 chance that we keep the result, and a (10-Y)/10 chance that we discard it. We can simply ignore the second case, since that doesn't add to our total...

You might look over the Netbook of Feats too. Although I think many of the feats might be on the weak side, that should just make it easier to convince the DM to let you take one if it strikes your fancy.

If they end up fighting the mummy, make it clear to them that it moves somewhat slowly. After an initial clash, which will probably paralyze at least a few in the group, they should be able to handle it if they just stay out of its reach.
